  • ✓
    Star ratingYour rating is among the highest in this market and it does its own selling - a customer sees it before they read anything else.

Top two opportunities

  • 1
    Review countYour review count sits above the middle of this market, which puts you in the group customers read as established rather than untested.
  • 2
    Response rateYou answer nearly all your reviews, which is more than almost anyone in this market, and a customer reading the page sees a two-sided conversation rather than a scoreboard.

I had my very first facial lymphatic massage here and the results honestly amazed me. I took before-and-after photos and could clearly see a difference. Before the treatment my face looked quite swollen and round, and afterwards it appeared...

Where customers find you

Refined Skin and Beauty shows below-average presence health with a 3.7/10 overall. The strongest current asset is the very high trust Facebook profile, while Fresha presence supports local visibility. Key opportunity lies in building trust on Instagram and TikTok, and claiming missing profiles on Neighbourly and Yellow, plus grabbing a GrabOne listing to reach deal-seeking clients.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Having a Facebook page at allWe found your Facebook Profile page, and the trail is strong enough that nobody would question it is yours - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Instagram ProfileWe found your Instagram Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.
  • ✓
    Tiktok ProfileWe found your Tiktok Profile page, and the trail between you and it is unambiguous - it is linked from something you own, or it dominates a search for your name.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Yellow ProfileWe could not find an active Yellow Profile listing for your business, which means anyone checking you there finds nothing and moves on to whoever is listed.

Your Facebook page

Strengths

  • ✓
    Where your page link pointsThe link on your page goes to a domain that is yours, so a visitor who came for the photos leaves on your terms and the enquiry lands in your inbox rather than someone else's.
  • ✓
    A page address you choseThe address on your page carries your business name, so a customer told about you at a barbecue can find the page by typing what they heard.
  • ✓
    A phone numberA phone number shows on your page, so the person who found you on Facebook before they found your website can ring straight from it.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    People following your pageFewer people follow your page than follow half the pages here.

06Your websiteMarketbase business report

Your website

Refined Skin and Beauty shows a low on-page SEO health with an overall score of 1.8 out of 10. The most impactful findings are the missing meta description and title tag on the homepage, and the absence of a valid favicon. Addressing these items can improve visibility and click-through rates while establishing basic branding.

Strengths

  • ✓
    Domain HealthYour site answers cleanly over a secure connection, so a customer clicking through from Google lands where they expect with nothing in the way.
  • ✓
    Page titleYour home page headline fits a search result exactly, so the whole line reads to someone scanning a page of results rather than cutting off mid-phrase.
  • ✓
    Domain UniquenessYour web address is yours alone, so everything your site earns - links, mentions, search standing - accumulates under your name and stays with the business.

Top three opportunities

  • 1
    Separate sites linking to youOnly a handful of separate websites link to yours, well behind most of this market.
  • 2
    Meta descriptionThe summary under your name in search results is either too brief to say anything or long enough that Google cuts it mid-sentence.
  • 3
    The shape of your link profileYour links come from fewer separate sites than most profiles the size of yours.

How people find you on Google

Refined Skin and Beauty shows strong website traffic health with a high overall score and solid organic traffic value. Key findings include a lack of paid traffic activity and opportunities to begin small, targeted paid campaigns, plus room to expand paid keyword coverage. Organic performance remains healthy, with potential gains from content cadence and backlinks.

08Opening hoursMarketbase business report

Your hours against demand

Refined Skin and Beauty's opening hours show reasonable alignment with local demand but leave notable gaps. The salon is open during several high-demand windows-Tuesday 10-11am, Wednesday 2pm and Saturday 1-2pm-yet remains closed across multiple popular late‑afternoon slots, particularly Wednesday 3-4pm and Thursday 3-5pm. No open hours fall into low-demand times, so wasted hours are not evident.
